Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal commended the efforts of all those involved in helping to combat piracy, during visits to meet representatives from EU NAVFOR and the Seychelles Coastguard. Luxembourg based CAE Aviation commissioned an Expeditionary Forces Aircraft Shelter System hangar from Rubb to house two SA227 MERLIN IIIC aircraft on anti-piracy missions in the Somali basin. The Luxembourg detachment in the Seychelles is part of the EU operation ATALANTA, steered by the European Union Naval Force (NAVFOR) Operation HQ in Northwood, UK. The client saw Rubb hangars in action in Afghanistan and decided a 20.4m (66.9ft) EFASS with Trident doors at both ends would meet CAE's needs. The hangar was delivered and erected at Seychelles International Airport in Victoria.
